Jardín de la Marimba

Top choice in Chiapas


To take your evening paseo (stroll) with the locals, stop by this leafy plaza, just eight blocks west of Plaza Cívica. The whole city seems to turn out here for the free nightly marimba concerts (6pm to 9pm), especially at weekends, and couples of all ages dance around the central bandstand.
